Oh great that means he hasn't seen the Mem yet, visited our training ground nor looked at Bristol property prices, DC will have plenty of work to do tomorrow to close this deal. He sat on the bench for Shrewsbury at the Mem last February for 74 minutes before coming on as sub, so had plenty of time to savour the magnificence of our state of the art stadium. One suspects the wages offered and a quick look at property prices will be the deciding factor. DC said when talking of transfers in the past that it always comes down to money. Which as we've said before, is understandable. It's a short career and if someone will pay you more to do the same job most would take it. It's not like he's rotting in Shrewsbury's reserves because he actaully started their game last Saturday. He was mainly used as a sub during the second half of last season but maybe the Shrews new manager has promised him more starts? That said, they're supposed to have accepted our bid which would suggest they're happy for him to go. Not sure what to make of it to be honest.

Attack the post not the poster. You cant't be f**ked to look but expect everyone else to go running round after you. Not about that self importance attitude. NOT that I need to explain myself to Someone Like You but I was driving and pulled over to ask the question and had hardly any signal that's why I asked, anyway just leave it there Your not the sort of person I like talking to. Ban! You even used capital letters for your song title!

Yep, but nobody actually signs; other clubs supporters are worthy of being given snippets of information e.g. Ipswich re Ellis, Shrewsbury re Payne, hmm. ... Why nothing from Waq & Hani ? On balance I personally prefer the “silent approach”. However, having said that, it is fine if, as you suggest, there is a result at the end of it....in this case a signing. Given recent events I have been considering what may happen should zilch happen this (second) time around (I have no evidence one way or the other on that point). If a “stop gap” signing was made, eg a loan, then we would likely stumble on in our usual way and the pin would, metaphorically speaking, stay in the grenade. But, controversially, would it be better if no signing was made that would pull that metaphorical pin out of the grenade and bring matters to a head both here on this forum, and more pointedly within the coaching/managing/recruitment staff? Would this pressure force the owners to change whatever it is that is not right or walk away?? Dont want that situation to develop but if there are issues then continuing to paper over the cracks is not necessarily the best way and perhaps you have properly break things to get all the issues raised, discussed and fixed. Just my random thoughts and with no knowledge of what may/may not be going on behind the scenes other than what I read on here (not always accurate!!) Problem is some of our fans have kicked off to the point that people leak information when they really shouldn't.

Leaking information about things that still might or might not happen, and the way it gets all muddled with the people who claim to know and won't say, and also the people who say but don't actually know.... This last couple of weeks have been a complete head chuffc....

I hate it with a passion for what it does in these sorts of situations (and other facets of life in general). Too easy to ram your opinions/prejudices at others. Sometimes with tragic consequences. The contradiction is that I am sure many can point to where it has done good. But maybe it’s mostly because I’m a product of Letters in the Green ‘Un which you had to wait a week to see the responses. But it seemed a gentler more civilised time then when Robin Perry and Peter Godsiff (sp) seemed to be the only “voices” we listened to. Maybe that’s a bit simple but there you go.....!

EFL insider with 506 followers? Yes, not sure how much to read into that.
However, the Shrewsbury fanzine does have 2k+ followers and they also reported it as a done deal:
"A source who came through on a few things recently has just told me. Payne deal is done, to be confirmed today or tomorrow (likely today). Has been in Salop today, heading to Bristol next. Would give it 95% certainty. Keep an eye out for the announcement."
We shall see. Can't see it being announced tonight now but you never know.
I'm out tomorrow so will miss the breaking news on all our deadline day signings.
All our deadline day signings ??

Its the product of a bygone age isnt it.
The trouble we have now, is that something may be leaked, it may or may not have legs, but it is read by the fanbase and others like the BEP. The BEP will lead on the story that Rovers 'close in on a new striker' and it may well be bollox. People on here will then bash the club if it doesnt happen, whether we were in for that player or not. If it doesnt happen they will somehow feel let down, even if it was all bollox.
With Bakayoko it seems we were gazumped, and the club can do nothing about that unless they want to get in a bidding war over wages, which is the last thing that should happen, as it will de stablaise the very foundation of what recent success was built on.
Does seem to me though that the club need a full de brief, as the manager will not be happy and the club will need to do more to make sure the current situation is improved.

Maybe they'll surprise us all and announce deadline days signings of Christian Doidge and Devante Cole. It's probably as likely as Nichols banging in 40 this season but you never know.
More likely we end up with noone on a permanent and bring in a couple of youngsters on loan before the end of August. We should know a lot more by this time tomorrow.
